Never answering the door again.
I just had a guy ring my doorbell, hand me a roll of wrapping paper and a door-hanger, and tell me all about this carpet cleaning business. Before I could even give him my "we have hardwoods" excuse, he motioned behind me and said that they clean hardwoods too. Then he asked if he could come in and take a look at my "high traffic areas."
(No comment.)
So I told him that now was not a good time, with Christmas coming up we would not be spending money getting our hardwoods waxed right now. But I would hold on to his info (on the door hanger) for whenever we did decide to have them cleaned.
Then he told me he'd come back by after the first of the year and took the wrapping paper AND the door hanger back away from me. Apparently the wrapping paper is a gift for people who let them quote your carpet cleaning today. But taking the door hanger? With your phone number and contact info on it? How freaking weird?
